Dylan Maddox earned a win Saturday and drove in five runs Saturday to lead host Dow High to a pair of wins at the Tom Roberts Invitational.

Dow defeated East Lansing 7-6 before rolling over Sault Ste. Marie (Ont.) 12-2 in five innings.

The opener saw freshman Alex Sova go the first five innings while allowing four runs, seven hits and striking out two. Maddox earned the win as he threw the final two innings while allowing three hits, two unearned runs and striking out two.

“Alex threw really well today,” said Chargers’ coach Kip Harris. “It was unfortunate that he didn’t pick up the win. Overall, we had good at-bats and were more consistent defensively than we were Friday (in a split with Mount Pleasant).”

Against East Lansing, Maddox’s two-out single, in the bottom of the sixth, scored Alex Bank, giving Dow the winning margin. Besides earning the victory, Maddox had two RBIs while Bank added a double and two RBIs.

The nightcap saw Joe McMahan go all five innings for the win as he allowed two runs and two hits. Maddox contributed two hits, including a triple, and two RBIs while Tim Davies had two hits, including a double, and a RBI. John Brandon and Conner Bruns each chipped in two hits.

The Chargers improve to 10-7 and host Saginaw Arthur Hill on Monday.
